Christmas Gingerbread Men

These sweet gingerbread folk have their own festive outfits for you to mix and match.

Knit your gingerbread friends and dress them in a stripy elf hat and waistcoat, or a cosy bobble hat and scarf—whatever suits your mood!

Sew the clothes in place with a hanging loop for a decoration, or leave them removable for cheerful costume changes.

Heads, bodies, and legs are knitted flat in one piece. Simple increases shape the arms, with stitches slipped onto holders while you finish—easy as can be!

I’ll guide you every step, so even if you’re new to knitting, you’ll soon have your own cheerful gingerbread people to share or keep. There’s a photo tutorial for mini pompoms—quick, fun, and sure to make you smile.

Placement stitches show you exactly where to position the eyes and full alternative instructions are included for embroidered eyes/ buttons.
